Stanley Cup Final
Blues GM Doug Armstrong To ‘Bull Gang’: “Do Your ‘Bleeping’ Job!”
St. Louis Blues fans better hope that the Blues players aren’t as tense as their General manager Doug Armstrong in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final in Boston Wednesday.
The Blues were scheduled to practice at 1:30 PM, about an hour after the Boston Bruins, exited the TD Garden ice, and apparently, the ice wasn’t quite ready to go on time for the visitors. According to TSN Analyst Dareen Dreger and Frank Cusumano of KSDK in St. Louis, Armstrong lashed out on the TD Garden ice crew – affectionately known as ‘The Bull Gang’ here in Boston – telling them to “Do your ‘bleeping’ jobs!”
Blues GM, Doug Armstrong just colourfully instructed the ice crew at TD Garden to get to work. Armstrong was a bit annoyed with possibility of the Blues practice being delayed. Crew member “who pissed in your Cheerios this morning”? Game 7.

The president of the @StLouisBlues Doug Armstrong just laid out the Boston Zamboni crew for not having the ice ready for the Blues practice. He said, “Do your blanking jobs.” @ksdknews

Following three tweets reporting on the incident, Armstrong reportedly came back and apologized.
Apparently Armstrong circled back to apologize. Game 7 harmony has been restored. https://t.co/gB1Xd8BHgd
